This is how you exploit Kinect’s motion capture feature; by creating a software that can fine tune and create motion capture avatars. The Kinect iPiSoft Motion Capture software gives users in-depth customization and control of their virtual avatars. This video by Joe McPeek displays the fine details that can be customized in iPiSoft’s Motion Capture Software. In this video, users display how easy motion capture becomes thanks to the Kinect iPiSoft. With it being plug and play and made specifically for the Kinect camera, an affordable and fully detailed motion capture feature can be utilized by any Kinect user. Another great thing about the iPiSoft is the different kinds of files that your data can be saved unto. This means that popular animation studios and software are compatible with the iPiSoft.

Here is a description by the developers:

The brand new “iPiSoft Studio” animation software is literally plugand play, requires 0 calibration and is amazingly powerful. What youcan do with this program is almost indescribable, but I will try.

Basically you can track your body movements then export the motion asa BVH, FBX or Collada File. And it also auto retargets motions onto animported rigg. With support for all major Animation programs,including, I/O options for Daz, Poser 3D Max, Blender, Endorhin andMotion Builder and more..”
